there is a special level of hell reserved for some people.
in short, people suck.
When Parents Infiltrate Myspace People Die, Seriously
this 14 year old girl was on myspace, met a really cute boy. under her parents strict supervision this girl started talking to the boy and she thought he really liked her. then the boy started calling her names and drudging up things from her past and in essence calling her a horrible person. girl who has already suffered from emotional issues is understandably fraught from the name calling, etc. girl retreats to her room and hangs herself, 3 weeks before her 15th birthday. cut to after the death, news surfaces that it was the parents of one of her friends with whom she had had a falling out with. the parents took it upon themselves not only to terrorize this girl from the privacy of their own home, but to also encourage other parents to do the same.
disgusting.
just plain disgusting.
you know as a seventh grader myself (yes because thats how old you are when you are 13 when these girls ended their friendship) i've gone through similarly difficult situations with my friends, i've had similar situations occur during high school and even into my college years. my parents have always been by my side to help me through it, but ultimately it was my problem to work through. even if seventh grade does seem too young for them to be able to deal properly without their parents involved, i feel ridiculous having to state this… but the parents sit down with the daughters and try to have them work it out in a civil manner. the parents should be the ones preventing their daughters from doing such horrible things, not the ones perpetrating them themselves!
and thank goodness i had the mother that i had. i was always worried that when she would bump into someone that i had an issue with, that she would take it upon herself to say something to that person in my defense, but she always behaved civilly no matter what. i am really proud to say that she was able to do this.
i really don't know what else to say right now. i am thoroughly grossed out.
